Oil-fried shrimp is a famous Han dish, belonging to Shanghai cuisine or Zhejiang cuisine. Usually small and medium-sized shrimps are used and fried in rapeseed oil in a high-heat pan. After cooking, the shrimps are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The shrimp shells are bright red and crispy, and they fall off as soon as you touch them. The shrimp meat is tender, slightly sweet and sour, and has a unique flavor.
